God Bless Ibiza
Follows a team of passionate young Christian clubbers who spend the summer in Ibiza trying to bring the love of Jesus to the hedonistic tourists on Europe’s clubbing capital. Young, hip and radical, the team are a far cry from the sandaled missionaries of yester-year. They’re more at home in a club than a church, dance tracks are their hymns and they invoke the holy spirit in clubs with quasi-spiritual names like Godskitchen, Eden and Ascension. Whilst they have no problem hanging out with clubbers high on E, the team themselves have all sworn off drugs, alcohol and sex and say they get their kicks instead from supernatural experiences of God.
